They Stole Leo Getz

The Big Kahuna by Janet and Peter Evanovich; 2019; $28.00; 301 pages; G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, NY; 978-0-525-53664-2; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Holgate; 8/14/19-8/16/19

An FBI agent and a grifter are paired to find a missing Silicone Valley billionaire.  Many, including his wife, just want him declared dead.  Fox and O'Hare are tasked with finding the Big Kahuna, dead or alive. The boss at the FBI office assigns another agent to help, hoping that he will keep things in line or at least fill out the proper paperwork.  The action is all the place including deep into some rural Hawaiian islands.

This series is still fun, but the removal of co author Lee Goldberg with Janet Evanovich's son does not bode well for the series.  The new FBI agent is an all too recognizable rip off of Joe Pesci's character, Leo Getz, from the Lethal Weapon series.  

8/10
